The draw for the cup will define who will be the rival of the Uruguayan team.
In addition, the president is a member of the club. Why is he a fan? The president of Boston River, Roberto Perdomo, told The Observer how Lacalle Pou’s link with that team arose. “There was a boy who was a member of the club’s board, Alejandro Saavedra, who was a police guard when his father (Luis Alberto Lacalle) was president of the Republic. So Saavedra, who was a fan of Boston, would bring things from the club to his son,” he said.
Over the years, when the current president was a senator, the collector of Boston River stopped by his office in the Legislative Palace to collect the social quota.
